have gone to Austin for the purpose of
arranging to produce damon and Py-
thIas," at the Millett opera house there,
in the same as it was played in this
city on the 3lst of. March. The same
play will again be produced at the opera
house here, about the 10th inst, during
the meeting of the Grand Lodge Of the
Knights OF Pythias. This production
will be singularly appropriate inasmuch
as the order is based upon the prlnci-
pies enunciated by the play and then
visitors will be able to see the ability
and intelligence of our boys.

The assignee today states that the
liabilities are $l,0l4.47, and fall upon
firms chiefly in this city, as the Lone
Star Brewing association, Orynski.
Thompson & Co., Newton & Weller,
Kahn & Co., of Galveston, and Mosler,
Bowen & Co., of New York. The assets
are about 81, 240.60. The cause of the as
signment is said to be because one credi-

ment and he assigned rather than be at
tached.

The saloon at the rear of the bat cave,
run by S. d. Fry, oolored, was burglar
lied last night, but the burglars only got
a"water haul, as only few dollars and
a small quantity of goods are missing.
Two men we're sleeping in the saloon at
the time but they know nothing of the
occurrence. They were troubled with
vomiting this morning and circum-
stances lead to the inference that the
men were chlOrofoTmed.

A handsome woman of 80 or there
abouts, accompanied by an attenuated
youth, entered a Broadway car last night
The woman carried a Scotch terrier in her
arms and vainly looked about the car for
a seat. Presently a stout man with huge
cavalry whiskers arose and offered the
woman his seat, which she took without
a "thank you" while she held the dog
up under her chin SO that he could look
out Of the window. In a few minutes a
passenger next her vacated his seat, and
before the fat man could get 10 IL sh. had
pulled her escort down into II. The fat
man glared but said nothing. After the
car had gone several blocks further an
other passenger arose TO get out. The
woman's %attenuated escort touched the
stout man and pointed TO the seat,

as he ambled toward the door, II get out

The Crown Prince of Italy.

The young prince is barely 10. lie Is
still under the care Of his tutors, and his
studies, which are OF a sensible, practical
and extensive scale, are never suffered 10
bear any interruption. He is rs yet some
what below the middle height. His hair
IL fair, his complexion pale. and his blue
eyes have a winning expression OF gentle
ch~eerfulness. He more closely resembles
his maternal grandfather, the King Of
Sayony, than his Italian ancestry. His
memory is prodigious. His preceptor,
Col. Oslo, formerly military attache TO
the embassy at Berlin, who fulGlls his
duties with conscientious firmnsss and de-
%yotion, speaks highly Of his pupil. II is
his ambition to make him every inch a
king
When the boy was still a little child he
wa on the most intimate terms with the
colonel and exceedingly anxious to please
him. Alter having successfully gone
through his lessons he would turn to him
and say; Colonel, kiss your little prince
II you are satisfied with him."
II espeaks English perfectly, having had
from his birth an English nurse, TO whom
he was deeply attached and for whom he
mourned merely when she died a short
time ago. The little fellow was SO con-
~scientious that, having been ordered by
his mother to speak nothing but English
o. certain days, he would not break
through the rules even to answer a high
functionary who addressed him success
siyely in Italian and French, looking i'm
ploringly all the time at the queen, who
was present, as IL begging her to explain
his APPARENT d~iscourtesy. He had the free
disposal Of a small weekly allowance.
One day, after having been unusually
quiet and observant at some public
pageant, he was seen to pull his mothers
skirt and ask her what the price Of a silk
gown was. Because, " he added, there
are all my savings. See if they will buy
one for my nurse

scend, but she never allows her alteration

what is expected Of her high position.

The drinking habit in men is mostly a
matter of appetite, hut appetite has very
little TO do with the lunching OF women.

cause Of her innate vanity. II every
woman had a separat" room 10 lunch in
there would be 10 luuChers. There is in
consequence a spirit Of rivalry in these
lunch rooms which makes them as fas-
cinating n a horse race. Every woman
mean to be ahead OF her neiGhbor, either
in the quantity or quality Of the lunch
she orders. There is no hanging back,
and the woman will start n race with the
same lunch and they come in neck and
